Is anyone using the NeXT to back up other machines?  Our box, er, cube,
sits most evenings with nothing to do but dim screens and veg., so we
thought those lovely huge optical disks might serve to back up some of
our larger boxes, such as our Apple A/ux box, etc.  We've done ftp back
and forth, but this is not a very automatic solution, nor is it hard to
envision batching that would carry this off.

Anyone tried anything so that we don't reinvent the wheel?
